AnyDoc

AnyDoc Software, Inc. offers innovative document and data capture solutions that have been the industry standard since 1989. Thousands of companies worldwide rely on its software to eliminate millions of hours of manual data entry while improving data accuracy and productivity. A KeyMark solution including AnyDoc Software provides the full spectrum of information-capture solutions from form design to document storage and retrieval. It can process a wide variety of hand-printed and machine-printed forms with accuracy exceeding 99%. An easy-to-use Windows interface reduces learning time so you more quickly realize an ROI.

TECHNICAL OVERVIEW

It is critical to optimize the design of forms that will contain hand-written data. There are two methods utilized by form design specialists when they lay out a hand-written form: unconstrained and constrained boxes. Constrained boxes result in greater accuracy. For that reason, OCR for AnyDoc emphasizes the line/form removal technology for ease in automating data entry. OCR for AnyDoc's standard features include the ability to perform edit checks to verify data against an existing database. This feature reduces human interaction to verify data and enhances data quality by improving its accuracy before human verification.

Other factors that improve results include the physical mechanics of how the data was applied to the paper. The methods can most simply be described as either machine- or hand-printed. Since the number of different fonts available for machine-print does not vary to the degree that hand printing does, machine-print will almost always achieve a higher accuracy rate.

The following chart contains accuracy rates you can expect to achieve with OCR for AnyDoc:
